Royal Elephant

This blog post is second in a series that is profiling our incredible sponsors and talented community members leading up to our Zombie Prom fundraiser on February 25^th. Everyone you see profiled here is dedicated not only to supporting the development of Asian Canadian theatre, but also to building a stronger, truly multicultural Canadian community. fu-GEN certainly would not be the same without the support of these amazing people and organizations.

Royal Elephant Thai Fusion Food is a pretty exceptional Thai food restaurant. Located on Eglinton West at Old Park Road, these guys are providing much of the food for our Zombie Prom. With an extensive menu featuring a variety of authentic Thai food, the Royal Elephant is the real deal. Insiders tell me that their duck curry is the best in the city! Additionally, our contact with Royal Elephant, Lin Chong, is one of the most fantastic people you'll ever meet. She set us up with a great deal on food because she believes in supporting the community. Lin has a history of supporting not-for-profit organizations, and I actually first sampled her food at a charity event! Her support for the community extends beyond not-for-profit organizations, though-- she is dedicated on a very individual level. Lin goes out of her way to show newcomers to this city around and make them feel integrated. One of our fantastic volunteers, Terence Tam, has Lin to thank for properly introducing him to Toronto upon his arrival here a few years back. "She just helps everyone", says Terence. And it is true. Without her help, fu-GEN would have no way of feeding hungry zombies!
So get your tickets and sample Lin's incredible food! You can get them by contacting Jenna Rodgers, Asian Canadian Community Developer: jenna@fu-gen.org, or by calling the fu-GEN office at 416-920-2828.
